Hide and seek

As you can guess from the very title of this new release, Royal Detective: The Princess Returns Collector's Edition is about the princess coming back to the scene in the Royal Detective series. This new game places a new challenge in front of you as a detective. The princess's peaceful life has come to an end and she needs your help! If you are familiar with the previous games of this series, you know all the drama the princess has gone through. The last time we saw her, she was finally over all of it turning a new page of her life. In this new game though, the first thing you see is the princess's dog with a letter from her asking for your help. Her dog is going to take you to a place to meet with her boyfriend, a prince. By the time you arrive, she goes missing. You need to find the one behind it before she is hurt and loses her magic powers. The game's story is a bit like a chick flick-ish. Some players are going to appreciate it though.

I don't know if you heard but a new addition to the Lost Grimoires series has been recently released and it is awesome (if you are a fan of the hidden object puzzle adventure genre and a good fairy tale).

If you not familiar with the previous game that set the stage for the story of this one, you need to know that you are going to keep fighting an evil witch. She has brought lots of sorrow to the kingdom and its citizens. The old king fought her and eventually came up with a plan to trap her inside a magic mirror. The plan worked but the king has suffered a fatal blow. As you move forward in time you are about the coronate the king's son. But a few days before the coronation the prince disappears and the kingdom seems to be in danger again. No, you don't play as the prince, you play as his closest advisor and teacher.

And you travel to a different dimension because of the supernatural character of the matter.

As America's roaring 20s were coming to a close and the Great Depression was on the brink, something wildly different was happening across the ocean. Sure, the political situation was tough and intense, but something more mystical was lying behind the scenes in Italy. The Roman Pantheon of old was misbehaving and The Myth Seekers: The Legacy of Vulcan Collector's Edition takes you back there to stand up to them. This game hails from the creative geniuses at the Poland-based Artifex Mundi. With a name like "Mundi," this Ancient Roman game has got to be good! If you are familiar with some of their other games, such as Noir Chronicles and endless fables, then you know what kind of creativity they bring to the table. If not, then you are about to be exposed to something completely different than what you have seen in other Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure Games.

Amax Interactives has brought us yet another smasher from the hit series, Spirits of Mystery! If you have played any of the previous ones, then you'll know that Amax is going all out with this. Spirits of Mystery: The Last Fire Queen Collector's Edition really goes all out.

This is a great game for the princess who has a bit of an evil side to her. This is no Disney Frozen situation - in this game you and your sister are future queens of the Fire Kingdom have more than a cute snowman on your hands as you go to rescue the Great Flame in all of its magical glory.
